      @Braden-Hallett I like number 2 and 3. Perhaps have the bee in 2 say The Art of Bee instead of buzz or the words as a shadow under the bee.

      What do you mean by “con season”?

        I like 3, good use of negative space.

            I really like the third option all the white and the bee's little shadow on the bottom.

              oh they're so cool!
              I guess you wouldn't go wrong with 1 or 4.
              What I am curious of though is: Will you have your website mentioned there?

                    @Braden-Hallett I like 1 the best. The blue looks good on the white and your buzzy little dude stands out more because he isn't too close to the text.

                      I agree with @KathrynAdebayo that seen this way 1 appeals to me the most since with the last two I also look for something in the white area.
                      However generally speaking in my experience with cons most people never see the bottom of vertical banners or if they do it's after the top half has drawn them to your stall. From this perspective of the top half been the most important I'd say 4 is my favourite.

                        I really like 3 and 5. The shadow pls your eye across the negative space and then back up to the bee.

                          I like 1, it has a nice gradient formed from a painted texture. The rest have it too but thats a lot more empty white space that isn't being used for anything and the white space is centered which makes me think like something is supposed to go there? I would clear that top left corner of 1 so that the top is completely white behind the lettering and maybe make the blue of the lettering the same as the blue of the paint below it.

                              I like number three. It really stands out and the detail of the bees shadow is very simple but effective.
                              It is minimalist and that makes it stand out.

                                @Braden-Hallett My personal preference goes out to number five. The first three it feels like the bee is getting a bit lost in all that white. And I love the shadow underneath the bee in the fourth! Nice going Braden!

                                  I prefer the first because those words really standout against your light background. It makes it much easier to spot and read.

                                    'con'vention season 🙂 As in comicons and fanexpos and stuff.

                                      Not on the banner, no. I'll have a ton of business cards at the table, though.

                                        That's been my experience, too. My last banner was a very full illustration that took up the whole banner. A good 2/3 of it was hidden at all times behind the wall of people, or just me and my table 🙂

                                          Nice catch. I'll clean that up 🙂 I tried the text the same colour as the gradient, but it was just a wee bit too light. I may try it again. I do like the idea 🙂

                                            @Braden-Hallett I like the 1st one, but the 4th one is nice as well and probably the most striking?
